Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken shredded or cut into small pieces
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
- ½ cup fresh parsley chopped
- ¼ cup fresh chives chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh tarragon leaves chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon anchovy paste
- ½ teaspoon salt or more to taste
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper or more to taste
- Optional: diced celery chopped red onion, halved grapes, or toasted almonds
Instructions
- Make the Green Goddess Dressing: Put the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, parsley, chives, dill, tarragon, lemon juice, garlic, anchovy paste, salt, and pepper in a food processor or blender.
- Blend Until Smooth: Mix everything until the dressing is smooth and bright green. You might need to scrape the sides a few times. Taste it, and add more salt or pepper if you want.
- Combine Chicken and Dressing: In a big bowl, put the cooked chicken and the Green Goddess dressing.
- Mix it all up: Stir until the chicken is covered with the dressing. Add any extra ingredients like celery or grapes now.
- Chill (Optional): You can eat it right away, but it tastes even better if you chill it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. This lets the flavors mix together.
- Stir one last time before serving.
